ABB has installed a distribution solution to support the new 250 ha floating solar power plant located in the Cirata Reservoir, in West Java, Indonesia. 

One of a growing number of floating solar installations worldwide that are building on existing hydropower plants, the Cirata project is capable of delivering energy to 50,000 Indonesia homes, says the company.  

The Cirata plant project is a collaboration between the Indonesian government, through PT PLN Nusantara Power, and Abu Dhabi-based renewable energy group Masdar. Working in collaboration with on-site engineers, ABB installed, tested and commissioned medium-voltage primary air-insulated switchgear at Phase 1 of the project, which has a capacity of 192 MWp.

Its anchoring and mooring reaches depths of 100 m in the Cirata Dam.

“We are proud to be part of this project, which is not only strategically important for Indonesia but also sets an example for other global economies that are looking to bolster their decarbonization plans with floating solar technology,” says ABB’s Ken Yap.

The floating solar power plant was recently inaugurated by the Indonesian President, Joko Widodo.

Trump’s Cabinet

Published

The nation is still wondering about the thought process behind the selection of certain of Trump’s cabinet members.

The common wisdom, of course, is that the normal issue of qualifications as seen on the person’s resume’ is far less important than his unwavering loyalty to the president.

But does that explain RFK, Jr. or Pete Hegseth?  I’m fairly certain that you could find loyal Trumpers who aren’t complete crackpots to head Health and Human Services.  If you check the coverage on health and disease on Fox News or Newsmax, you’ll find plenty of people with “MD” after their names who aren’t batshit crazy like Kennedy.

Perhaps part of Trump’s thinking is that he wants to communicate to the American people that he is, in already a dictator, and as such, that he can do anything he wants, regardless of how destructive and apparently insane.

Global Cooperation

The point made at left is spot-on.

There may be exceptions, but the very last thing that our Earth’s most visible leaders will do will be to spontaneously decide to begin to cooperate with one another, as that would signal a diminution of their domination.

Want a good example?  Take Netanyahu.  He had opportunities all throughout this tragedy with Hamas and the Palestinians to save lives and alleviate suffering, but doing so would require him to loosen his fists on the absolute power he enjoys in Israel.
